SAVANNAH, Ga. () — A new museum is opening its doors on Monday and it spotlights a very mysterious group of people.

was allowed an exclusive first look at Savannah’s Pirates and Treasure Museum, the first of its kind in the city. Kayla Black, the Director of Attractions with Old Town Trolley Tours of Savannah, Inc., said they are putting the pirate rumors to bed.

“There’s this longstanding idea that pirates were in Savanna, but there was no verifiable proof of it,” Black said.

Old Town Trolley hired a company out of Washington, D.C., to conduct extensive research. Black said they looked through the National Archives, the texts from the University of Georgia library and Savannah City Council meeting minutes dating back to the 1700s.

“They found clear evidence of piracy in Savannah,” Black said.

That evidence is now on display in the haunted city. The museum is located right below the Prohibition Museum.

During this self-guided tour, visitors can experience interactive exhibits, authentic artifacts, state-of-the-art museum features and a taste of the pirate life at The Pirates Tavern.

There are sights and sounds for all ages but since pirates weren’t the nicest of people, parents can choose which exhibits their kids visit.

The museum opens Monday at 10:00 a.m. For more excitement, stop by for the grand opening on November 6.
